Thread: New decat pipe for td5, egt sensor

Pre-turbo is more accurate representation of temperature.

Post turbo is an unknown due to heat soak on the turbo

The pics below show my preferred location for a Td5 pre-turbo EGT sensor.

To get the tip of a probe from the EGR plate to somewhere near the manifold outlet/turbo inlet for a representative measurement requires a long unsupported probe, subject to a lot of turbulence and vibration - not good for the probe's electrical longevity.

Drilling and tapping near the turbo flange means only 15 - 20 mm of probe needs to be inside the manifold wall.

PM me if you would like some hints on drilling and tapping the manifold.

I'm thinking that I will probably deweb my manifold when I fit the decat pipe so I guess that would be the best time for drilling and tappping the manifold to reduce the risk of swarf entering the turbo. Any preferences on brands of egt sensors ?

Yes, I have but I can't say. Hopefully someone else will mention my preferred brand...
